In english Finally my whole family came over to Kristiansand on a first visit. Ella has also taken the opportunity to dive a few days with Kristiansand´s diving club. She got to dive with some A-level divers who usually compete for the Norwegian national team, so she was probably given a real workout. They have a small diving arena here, but in a month a larger diving arena with various jump heights will open so the idea is that the sport will grow. She is welcome to train with them whenever she wants so that´s great. Kajsa has also been at the gym and had fun in the “child in room” activity. She had to be pull away (liked it a lot). But it was a tough feeling when my family returned to Sweden. It is extremely difficult to leave ones family. Today it felt extra hard to say goodbye to them after a few nice days in Kristiansand. Today was Ella’s birthday (12 years) which we celebrated here in Kristiansand. But we had some fantastic days with perfect weather when my family got to see my home, my office, the environment, nature, the city, the gym and all that is a part of my PhD life in Norway. They even got to meet some of my colleagues. The highlight was probably when we went for a hike to a top of a nearby mountain. The sun was shining lovely as we sat and admired the view of Kristiansand. Unfortunately, the nice pictures are in Ella’s camera, so they may be published later. Ended the day with a 2 km swimming in Spicheren (gym). It was good for both body and soul. Tomorrow should I do a lot of research on funding and entrepreneurship. Ha det! (have a nice day).
